Updates to the template for manuscripts for the American Journal of Physics to use BibTeX and include hyperlinks, by Ted Corcovilos (2014). Also, includes configuration file for latexmk to simplify compiling the document and a working .gitignore configuration.
- Edit AJPTemplate.tex with the text of your document.
- Edit AJPTemplate.bib to contain BibTeX bibliography entries for the reference of your text.
- (Optional) Place figures in the
figfolder to preserve them during cleanup. - Compile the document with one of these methods:
- Manually: run
pdflatex AJPTemplate, followed bybibtex AJPTemplate, then two more timespdflatex AJPTemplate. - Automagically: run
latexmk AJPTemplate(requireslatexmkto be installed).
- Manually: run
- When ready to submit the manuscript, manually copy the contents of the
AJPTemplate.bblfile into the place indicated near the end of theAJPTemplate.texfile. Then compile again by runningpdflatex AJPTemplate(probably 3 times) orlatexmk AJPTemplate. (This final step is a work-around for the submission instructions for AJP:.bblfiles are not permitted.)
